Their Eyes Were Watching God

The beloved Zora Neale Hurston Classic-a PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick-now available as a HarperCollins American Classic in celebration of America`s 250th anniversary. Originally published in 1937, Their Eyes Were Watching God has become one of the most important and enduring works of modern American literature. Written with Zora Neale Hurston`s singular wit and pathos, this Southern love story recounts Janie Crawford`s "ripening from a vibrant, but voiceless, teenage girl into a woman with her finger on the trigger of her own destiny." A tale of awakening and independence featuring a strong female protagonist driven to fulfill her passions and ambitions, Their Eyes Were Watching God is a classic of the Harlem Renaissance and perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of literature.
